WEEE

 

What is covered

The regulations cover EEE defined in 14 broad categories.

The regulations do not apply to:

  • products for military use
  • a piece of equipment designed for and installed in another type of equipment which can only function within that product, for example a built-in satellite navigation system installed into cars, boats or aeroplanes
  • filament bulbs apart from LED filament bulbs, to which the regulations do apply
  • equipment designed to be sent into space
  • large-scale stationary industrial tools
  • large-scale fixed installations which perform specific industrial operations
  • transport for persons or goods, excluding electric 2 wheeled vehicles which are not type-approved
  • off-road mobile machinery for professional use only
  • equipment designed only for research and development use and only available via business to business (B2B)
  • implantable medical devices
  • medical devices that are infective at end-of-life

How to comply

Producer obligations

Register as a producer annually. How producers do this depends on how much EEE they have placed on the UK market in the previous calendar year (also known as a compliance year):

  • if they place less than 5 tonnes of EEE on the UK market in a compliance year, they can register directly with their environmental regulator as a small producer
  • if they place more than 5 tonnes of EEE on the market, they must join a producer compliance scheme (PCS)

Reporting Obligations​

  • Regularly report the total weight of EEE placed on the UK market, either annually or quarterly.​
  • Ensure products are correctly scoped into the appropriate reporting categories, classified as either household (B2C) or non-household (B2B)

Finance WEEE Recycling – B2B Obligation​

  • Both large and small B2B producers are responsible for financing the collection, treatment, recovery, and environmentally sound disposal of the EEE they market.​
  • Producers can either offer take-back of EEE directly or delegate this responsibility through contractual arrangements with their customers.​
  • Producers must also communicate the details of take-back arrangements to customers and provide evidence of compliance to their compliance scheme. This is known as the B2B Declaration of Compliance.

Communicate Producer Registration Number​

  • After registering, share your Producer Registration Number with your distributors.

Provide Recycling Information​

  • Ensure your B2B customers are informed about recycling options for your products at the end of their life cycle. This information enables customers to dispose of EEE responsibly and contributes to a sustainable waste management system.

Test yourself 241  A botnet aims to take control of digital systems. It is a type of malware that allows a cyber security attacker to take control of someone's system without their knowledge.   The aim of a DOS attack is to make a network inaccessible to users. It does this by flooding the network with traffic which in turn slows its speeds down to a point where it is basically unusable.  One of the main differences between a DOS attack and a DDOS attack is a DDOS attack tends to use multiple devices to try and infiltrate a network. The types of networks that are usually under threat from these would be ones like websites, banks, and payment websites.   Some of the main websites that are targeted by DDOS attacks would be ones like banks and payment websites.   Test yourself 242 One way of trying to find a password is using a dictionary software.
